HofKINsvILLE CITY COURT,
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-05-27
INVITE THEM HERE.

The Commercial club of Boston, one
OF the most prominent organizations of
business menin the country, will shortly
visit Chicago as the guests of business
men of that city. Its members should
be urged to extend their trip to Mime
apOliS and st. Paul, and, doubtless, con-
certed action on the part of represent
tative men of the two cities would result
in their doing so.
The visit Of such men, representing
vast interests and great capital, could
not fail to be productive of great good
to the Northwest, as well as being a
source of enjoyment and profit to the
visitors themselves. They cannot fail,
such of them as are strangers to the
Northwest with being very strongly
impressed with the commercial advan-
tageS by the two cities, and if it is pos
Slble to induce them to come, the visit
would eventually result in mutual
profit.
The only thing necessary is a prompt
and cordial invitation from an authori-
tative source. The hospitality of st.
Paul and Minneapolis is proverbial, and
united effort on the part of the bust
ness men of the two cities would result
III a reception that would leave no doubt
in the minds OF the Boston men of the
warmth attending their welcome.
BY all means let us have the members
OF the Commercial club with us that
their eyes may be opened to the never
ending glOrieS of the Northwest.

SHREWD HETTY GREEN.
She Has Begun Bitter Fight
With Male Spectators.

Special to the Globe.
III New YORK, May 26.-Mrs. Hetty
Green, the richest woman in America,
Whose great wealth and financial ability
have made her power in Wall street,
has,, caused sensation by re-
fusing to become party to the
agreement entered into between the
rbOndhOlders of the Houston & Texas
Central railway. This road is a part of
: yHuntington's Southern Pacific system,
actually pitted her wealth and her cum
|. ming against the wealth and cunning of
&c. P. Huntington and that of his asso-
4 ciates. The latter own the stock of the
Houston and Texas Central, which they
picked up at very low price, said to be
10. The bonds Of the road are widely
held, Mrs. Green owning about S1,00O,-
600 of the general mortgage bonds, be-
sides large amount of first and second
mortgage bonds. The road does not
run through very productive section,
but owns an enormous grant of public
land and its future is believed to be
bright. 1t defaulted on the interest
two or three years ago and some time
ton meeting and some things were said
about Huntington which were not very
pleasant. 1t was intimated that Hunt
ington was engaged in an effort to
wreck the property in order to
get it more securely in his grasp
A committee was appointed who,
after some manouvering around,
come to an understanding with
Huntington satisfactory to the bond
holders. To-day was the last day for
them to come in under the agreement
Mrs. Green had promised to go in with
others. She attends to all her business
personally, though her husband, who
was once president of the Louisville &
Nashville, is living and is shrewd
business man. But when the time
came for action she changed her
mind. Mrs. Green, it is under
stood, believes that by holding
out, when all the other bondhOlders
have assented, she can force Mr.. Hunt
ington to make private settlement
with her on better terms than the other
bondholderS will get. She thinks she
sees that Mr.. Huntington is making a
good deal out of the reorganization plan.
The bondholders are angry at Mrs.
Green and are going to try and push
along without her.

How Gen. Jackman Saved Money

GA Republican convention was nov
city in 1902 says writer in the New
York Sun, "and hundreds of Democrats
flocked to Chicago to see the fun that
year. Gen. J. B. Jackman, the stiffest
kind of Democrat, but great friend
of Cameron, was there, and never
missed a chance to give the general a
lift. Jackman had built the greater part
of the Philadelphia S Erie rail-
road, and had made fortune that
was among the big ones in those
days. He was a tip-top fellow, and,
being true gentlemen. nobody enjoyed
quiet game of draw more than he did.
The morning after the ratification meet
ing over the nomination of Lincoln |
was at the Briggs house, where all the
Pennsylvania delegation stopped, and
who should come along but Gen. Jack
man.
"'Hello! Come in and have some
thing
81 went in, and after we had had
something Jackman began to feel for
his money. Every pocket was empty.
'Therer he exclaimed. Some ill
fernal black Republican has robbed
me!'
How much have you lost, general?'
Fifteen hundred dOllarSn he said.
No. he said, hold on. Let-me-see.
There was $3.50 that Aleck Mcclure
pulled out of me on that full, when [
thought sure he had only a bob-tail
flush: there is the $3.50 | had in the
Jackpot that Thad Stevens walked
away with, and there's the $3.50 that
Andy Curtin coaXed away from me by
standing pat on an ace full, and l
thought it was only bluff. BY Jove!
I'm luckier than l thought L was
There's $3.50 l saved out of the 81, 800,
and I'm only $3.50 out after all"

w. f. DAYInsoN,s DEATH.

The loss to community OF man
like Commodore DAVIDSON can not be
fully realized until he is gone. The ser
vices of man who possesses capacity
and energy and who deyoteS the
best years of his life to the
upbuilding of the community in
which he lives are of incalculable value.
When Comodore DAVIDSON died it was
almost like tearing out a chapter of st.
PaulS history. He stood by the cradle
of this great metropolis. Through all
the years Of its struggling infancy no
hand was more useful or devoted in
nursing it into strength and power than
his own. And when at last st. Paul
arose in the full maturity of great city
his handiwOrk was visible in every de-
partment of its growth and develop
ment. From the time he first came to
st. Paul down to the hour when he was
stricken with the malady that car
ried him off, there was no more
busy, active, publie-spirited citizen
in our midst than Commodore
DAVIDSON. For thirty-two years he had
induStriously labored to build up the
city in which he took so much pride and
the expansion of whose material in
terestS was the object of his life.
He was the founder of st. Paul's COM
mercial prosperity.
He was foremost in every public
enterprise.
The monuments of his labor and pub
lie spiritedness are among the chiefest
glorieS Of the metropolis.
His genial nature made him beloved
of all, and his generosity knew no
bounds. Now that he has gone from us
forever we realize how serious the loss
is to our city.
The old settler and the new conner,
the rich and the poor alike will unite
their lamentations over his death and
will join together in paying tribute to
his memory.

UNION WITH CANADA.

One of the correspondents who has
been accompanying Editor O'BRIEN on
his Canadian tour has been making ex-
haustive inquiries OH the subject of an
neXation. His interviews disclose a
very general desire on the part of Cana
dianS TO become united to the United
States. However much the Canadians
want to come into the Union, the time
has not yet come, though when it is de-
Sirable to take them in. Canada is, first
OF all, not in satisfactory enough con-
dition financially to be Incorporated
with the United States, even if there
were not diplomatic difficulties in the
way. Nor yet is it clear that with her
very different institutions, her radically
varying political methods and her di-
verse social conditions, that she would
make desirable addition to the States.
Though actual union may and quite
probably will take place i'll the future,
the time for it is not yet ripe in the
opinion of those American statesmen
who have given the matter considera-
ton.
But one kind of union is both ~desira-
BILE and possible. There could and there
should be the most complete commercial
union between the two countries. Trade
between them, reciprocity in the fullest
sense, should be as possible as it is be-

THE WAR Is OVER.

We desire TO call the attention of our
Republican friends to the fact that
Union and Confederate veterans united
recently at several places in the South
III decorating the graves of their dead
and that the same pleasing sight, as
eylnced by invitations already sent out,
will be seen on Decoration Day.
The war closed some years ago but
good many Of the brethren of the oppo-
site political faith, whose prophets are
BLAINE and SHERMAN, have not been
able to realize that fact. 1t is not those
who participated in the great civil con-
hlct, those who bore the brunt of battle,
the sutferings and privatations, who
fought, bled and died for the sake of
what each believed to be the right, it is
not these who strive to keep alive the
old anlmoSities which arrayed brother
against brother and father against son.
These realize that the day for all bitter
feeling departed when the sun set upon
AppOmattOX, and now no more loyal
men are to be found, nor who would
sooner fight for the preservation of the
Union, should, unhappily, there be oc-

sympathy ana tears perchance that
they can join in placing floral tributes
u.SOn the graves of those who whether
they fought for the right or
the wrong, were brave men. 1t
is The self-interested politicians alone
who, seeking to utilize sectional feeling
to Gheir own advantage, endeavor to
nurse into life the hatred which has
well nigh died away. 1t is gratifying
Fact, however, that in both South and
North the selfish intentions of the politi-
cal nanipulators are every year becom-
ing more generally recognized and more
universally condemned. The time is
but brief, it is to be hoped, until there

special Election Called.

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, May 26.-The city council
lsst evening unanimously passed the or
dinance submitting to the people the
proposition to bond the city for $4,000
in aid Of the WinOna d Southwestern
road. The only restriction in the Ordi-
nance is that twenty miles of road shall
be completed and fully equipped by Jan.
1, 1880. A special election has been
ordered for June 20, when the question
will be vote upon. The clauses of the
ordinance requiring the building of
depot and shops here, and that the COM
pany should contract to have the road
completed to Mason City before the
bonds were turned over, were stricken
out. 1t was rumored on the
streets to-day that Mayor Matthews
would veto the ordinance, but he de-
clines to say anything in regard to the
matter, and it is thought probable that
he will sign it. The Winona & South
western company has contracted with a
syndicate of capitalists represented by
l.. j. MunrOe. of Minneapolis, to build
the road through to the Iowa line, and
it is guaranteed that engineers will be
sent out within five days after the
special election if the city of Winona
votes favorably upon the bonds. Wi
mona people are eXulting over the fact
that the matter will soon be decided,
and the general sentiment seems to be
that the bonus will be voted by large

The Cocktail Feminine.

New York Sun.
A gentleman on his way out of a
Broadway theater between the acts
asked lady if he could do anything to
relieve her WEAKNESS. She said: ''Ye5,
just do by me as you will by yourself"
He did. On his return he laid a pretty
bunch of flowers i'll her lap, and, when
their extraordinary weight aroused her
attention, behold, cunningly fastened
by wire in the center, was half
pint pumpkin-seed bottle. Through
the cork, into the heart of Gala lily,
went straw. With what wealth of
admiration for mans invention did she
hold that fragrant bouquet to her
pleased face. The bar that had got up this
novel way of introducing amid cocktail
to lady will doubtless prosper. But
whenever lady i'll theatre is seen in
haling the fragrance of huge bouquet
it is suspected that she has got right

METHOD IN THEIR MADNESS.
For the Globe.

For the Globe.
When the fishing seasons dull,
And around a stream you dangle,
And you never get bite,
Though for hours doth you angle.
AT a little store hard by,
Then you purchase fish from Vadnais,
And you give the boys breeze,
There's method in your madness
When a tough and hardened sinner
Waltzes up before ''hizZoner,''
And the judge looks down with wrath
Ere he puts the sentence on her.
Then she means as if indeed,
Her heart would break from sadness,
She is after a release.
There's method in her madness.
When a club is being downed,
In the festive sport base ball,
And the boys in any inning
Cannot get run at all,
How they'll watch the cloudy sky,
While their play teens O er with badness,
They expect a shower of rain,
And there's method in their madness.
When your wife upon your neck
Hangs with fervor and devotion,
And her eyes look love to yours,
And her breast heaves with emotion.
From her lips gush honeyed words,
While her face bespeaks all gladness,
There's a seal skin in the wind,
And a method in her madness.
